    Protip for when you need help moving:

    • Set and communicate a date well in advance, ideally as soon as you sign the new lease.
    • Ask 3x as many people as you think you’ll need.
    • Have everything packed when they arrive.
    • Only fill boxes with heavy stuff half-way.
    • And make absolutely sure there’s food and drink available at all times.

      So many friends I’ve helped move who almost seems surprised when we arrive, as if they didn’t know themselves they were moving.

      I think most important point is, have your shit packed and ready, nothing more annoying than carrying out a sofa and see them neatly pack LPs or some shit in the background. MF you had a month to do this, I’m not moving for you I’m helping you move.

        I helped a friend move in with his girlfriend, and they stood in the door to the new apartment and started arguing about where the large wardrobe should go - while me and another guy were standing on the stairs, carrying it.
        When the argument turned to shouting, and they completely ignored us, we set the wardrobe down on the stairs and left.

    One of the few benefits of going out is getting to reward oneself with a cheeky little nibble.

    Don’t invite this person. They’ll make errands that should be an hour into a 3 hour escapade while complaining every 25 minutes about being hungry and wanting snacks.

    Eat a whole fucking meal, like an adult.
